Compression can occur between the two heads of the pronator teres muscle, between pronator teres and the flexor digitorum sublimus muscles and from an aponeurotic band of fibrous tissue extending from the biceps tendon to the forearm fascia.

On further exploration, the muscle was found to extend from the proximal insertion of pronator teres in a longitudinal direction towards the wrist, passing within a separate tendon sheath deep to Fiton's canal.

Among females the pronator teres is ranked higher than in males, suggesting a range of female activities placing emphasis on pronation of the forearm as it flexes (bringing the back of the hand towards the face).
